Description

Motorola MVME2604712

Technical Specifications

  • Processor: PowerPC MPC604 RISC microprocessor.
  • Memory: Supports 16MB to 256MB of ECC DRAM via the RAM200 module.
  • Storage: Includes 9MB of Flash memory for robust firmware and OS storage.
  • I/O Interfaces: Provides four serial ports (two synchronous/asynchronous, two asynchronous) via EIA-232-D DCE/DTE interfaces.

Functional Features

  • Integrated Transition Module: The MVME712M module routes TTL-level signals to industry-standard connectors, simplifying external cabling.
  • Real-Time Capabilities: Features programmable timers, interval counters, and a hardware watchdog for precise real-time task management.
  • PCI Mezzanine Support: Includes PMC slots for expanding I/O or adding specialized processing capabilities.

Application Scenarios

  • Process Control: Factory automation, robotics, and assembly line control.
  • Network Infrastructure: Telecommunications switches and routing platforms.
  • Test & Measurement: Automated test equipment requiring high-speed data acquisition.

Performance Parameters

  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to 55°C with forced-air cooling.
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C.
  • Humidity: 5% to 90% (non-condensing).

Material Composition
Built with UL-recognized 94V-0 flame-retardant PCBs, industrial-grade PowerPC processors, and precision surface-mount components.

Structural Characteristics

  • Form Factor: Double-high 6U VME with attached transition module.
  • Dimensions: Base board height 9.2 inches, depth 6.3 inches; transition module adds front-panel connectivity.

Working Principle
The MPC604 processor executes real-time operating system code, utilizing the Falcon chipset for memory control and the Universe chip for VMEbus bridging. The MVME712M transition module converts internal TTL signals to external EIA-232-D levels for serial communication.

Installation Requirements

  • Must be installed in a standard 6U VME chassis with proper grounding.
  • Requires forced-air cooling with adequate airflow across both the base board and transition module.

Usage Precautions

  • Handle with ESD protection at all times.
  • Ensure all external cables are properly shielded and grounded to prevent EMI interference.
  • Verify jumper settings for serial port clock configuration before initial operation.
